Latest on Torchwood; Jack & Ianto

A couple of weeks ago, I read the post that the band Gareth David-Lloyd is in and they said something about him coming to the U.S. for a conference that is like Comic Con. Except it is not Comic Con. It is just one that is like Comic Con. Anyway! That threw the idea of Gareth returning to Torchwood out the window.

I've been keeping up with Torchwood: Miracle Day. I will say that it is interesting but it's not like all of the previous seasons of Torchwood. And I'll admit that it's because Ianto isn't there. It's interesting in its own way. But Torchwood is supposed to be dealing with aliens. Not a miracle. Let alone things that do not have to deal with aliens. I'll also admit that Miracle keeps you on the edge of your seat. For me, I am not on the edge of my seat. I think that I'm half-on and half-off. Not fully one way. Not fully the other. The latest thing that scared me is what happened to Gwen when she returned to Los Angeles.

Gwen got a mysterious call at the airport and was told to put in the contact lenses. When she did, whoever was typing said, "We have your mother. We have your husband. We have your daughter." Then Gwen said something like, "What do you want?" The person said, "Bring us Jack." As soon as I saw Jack's name, I couldn't help gasping from shock. Heck, it scared the crap out of Gwen because she backed up against a bathroom stall from the sink.

Also, Ianto hasn't been mentioned since that disastrous third episode. I will admit that episode five, I think, had me thinking about Ianto. When the black guy, who is currently working alongside Torchwood, was being loaded up into an ambulance, Jack said to the two people that he loves him and something about him being his boyfriend. As soon as I heard that, I was in shock. I was like, "Thank the good Lord that Ianto is not here to hear that." I also thought something like, "What? Couldn't Jack have just told them that he was a friend?"

For the past several days, I have been working on more videos. Actually, yesterday I finished a sixth one. On the eleventh, I started making the videos. Unless you want to include gathering songs and lyrics, then I guess I actually started on the tenth. The first one I made was from Jack's point of view. The song was "Somewhere" by Within Temptation. The second video I made was from Ianto's view with "Is This Love" by Whitesnake. The third, Jack's view, was "Nights are Forever (Without You)" by England Dan and John Ford Coley. The fourth, Ianto's view, was "The One I Love" by Oz. The fifth, Jack's view, was "I'd Come for You" by Nickelback. The sixth and final video (so far) was from Ianto's view and had "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. Which reminds me...

I've decided that I'll stop second-guessing Jack's intentions with Ianto and just believe that Jack truly loved Ianto. Even if Russell T. Davies had not and is not intending for Jack to love Ianto. And I'm also going to believe that Jack didn't sleep with that bartender guy in the third episode of Miracle. So, I guess what I'm thinking is that I'm going to believe that the radio play, "The House of the Dead," is the end of Torchwood thus there not being any Torchwood: Miracle Day.

LONG LIVE JANTO!
